Daniel worked at Clark Equipment Co. where they made transmission boxes for cars, forklifts, and parts for the first Diesel Locomotive engine.

He built the family a camp out of wood taken from old boxcars. The camp was built at the Main St home and bolted together in such a way that it could then be taken apart in sections. It was then loaded onto a truck and moved to Smith Lake where it was bolted back together. Smith Lake was a small lake, two to three miles from Berrien Center. The lake was owned by Mr. Clymer who leased the land to them. The camp had a well, outhouse, kerosene stove and lamps, and a wood stove for heating. It was used mostly in summer.
